The oxygen consumption rate of an inactive dry yeast (IDY) selected to protect wine from oxidationThe oxygen consumption rate of a specific inactivated yeast (Pure-Lees™ Longevity, Lallemand) specially selected to protect wine from oxidation thanks to its high capacity for oxygen consumption was calculated using a non-destructive luminescence-based technique in a model solution, to which different concentrations of inactive dry yeast, sulphur dioxide or ascorbic acid were added. Results indicate […]

Inoculating with yeast to acidifyA non-Saccharomyces yeast, Laktia, can naturally acidify white and red musts by converting a small amount of sugar into lactic acid at the start of alcoholic fermentation. This is a new way to acidify wine. The article is published with the permission of La Vigne TAP-ANG Levure
